EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of art created by the renowned jeweler Carl Faberge. The "Jewelled vari-coloured gold-mounted and enamelled egg on plinth" is a true masterpiece, combining exquisite craftsmanship with intricate detailing. Standing at an impressive height of 27 cm, this egg-shaped creation features a mesmerizing blend of gold, silver, enamel, seed pearls, and precious stones. Crafted by workmaster Michael Perchin in St. Petersburg in 1902, it is a testament to Faberge's unparalleled talent. The ovoid silver body is delicately enameled in translucent pink over guilloche moire ground, adding an ethereal touch to its appearance. The front boasts a circular white enamel clock face adorned with blue Arabic chapters and gilt stylized leaf and swag decoration. Gilt scroll openwork hands gracefully sweep across the clock's surface. The reverse side reveals another hidden gem - a circular hinged panel intricately designed with openwork roundels of laurel and geometric motifs concealing the clock mechanism within. Although lacking some hinged covers below the winding apertures, this flaw does not diminish its allure or historical significance. This remarkable piece from a private collection captures the opulence and grandeur associated with Faberge's creations. It serves as a reminder of his unrivaled mastery in blending traditional techniques with innovative design elements to create timeless works of art that continue to captivate audiences even today.
